Hi Val and Bill, sounds exactly as I had hoped, we are off to Thailand at Easter but I am more excited about Arilas!
Last 2 years we stayed at the Paleo Inn, Paleokastritsa which was lovely and was the same adult only, 18 rooms, so similar.
We are in our fifties but we met a lovely young school teacher and her boyfriend while we were there. She very recently asked where I was going and has booked too go a few days after us.
So ness44 there will be some young people there for the girls lol!
ness44 I looked at the Kaloudas as it was the same price, decided sounded a bit to young children orientated. What would u say is the major difference between the two?
Presume Kaloudas has got extra star coz it has TV's in room (wouldn't use anyway) and mini supermarket and bigger pool.
Even in August last year we did lots of walks to local villages, it never felt too hot as there was a breeze.
Really excited about this hol and looking forward to evening, after dinner time drinks in the bar.
Val and Bill be warned I will be asking lots of questions coming up to my hol!
Hubby and me are also looking forward to visiting the brewery too!

Ask away Diana, just hope you enjoy Arillas as much as we do, it's such a laid back place and everyone is so friendly, we first found it in 2002, the beach is beautiful but alters in size, sometimes narrow and the next day much wider but always plenty of room for everyone.

Lots of walking if you want it, some hills but not too steep. You can walk to most of the surrounding villages very easily. The brewery is quite close to Mathraki, just up the hill.

     Val x
The love affair continues.

Diane
When we stayed at Kaloudis 3 years ago it was lovely but last year we went up there for a few hours and even though still lovely a lot lot busier than the previous year even though it was the same time of year. We decided on mathraki this year with the 2 girls as we spoke to my daughter and gave her a choice and she chose mathraki . We can always visit there for the days but we can have the best of both world's. The mathraki is so peaceful and everybody was friendly around the pool. Also we got a really good price!!!
I can't wait to get there. Is it just the two of you going?

Hi ness yes just the 2 of us. We are going to Thailand with friends at Easter so it will be nice to not have to think to much about pleasing friends.
We live in Norwich, where do you live?

We have been to both! Kaloudis is fine, can be a little noisey around bar and pool at night but everyone of the family really nice, and its a good little shop.

Mathraki we love and are going back again in Sept, much quieter, great food, family very friendly and helpful, NO KIDS!, only a shortish stroll uphill from there to the Brewery, great beer and views, sure you will love it!
